Draft:Shahnameh studies

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Research of Shahnameh or Shahnameh study (Persian: شاهنامه پژوهی) is the study of the Persian-language epic poem Shahnameh, its author, Ferdowsi, its historical context, and its relation to Iranian literature.[1] Subtopics within the field include the study of geography, terminology, etymology, mythology, symbology, stylistics and aesthetics in relation to the Shahnameh.

Area[edit]

Due to the age and fame of Ferdowsi and Shahnameh, the field covers a very wide area. Almost all Shahnameh scholars specialize in a specific topic or branch of Shahnameh study.

Mohammad Rasouli, an Iranian scholar of the Shahnameh, stated that: "Iran's history is more than 14 thousand years, not 2500 years; Shahnameh is a prose history of Iran that is written in verse".[2][3]
